Run the Example

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno litellm

Set your OpenAI credentials

Use an OpenAI API key with access to the requested model. The LiteLLM SDK calls the provider directly. An existing LITELLM_API_KEY overrides provider-specific credentials, so clear it for this example.

unset LITELLM_API_KEY
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_provider_api_key_here"

Set compatible sampling options

Add temperature=None, top_p=None to every LiteLLM(...) using id="gpt-5.6-luna" or id="openai/gpt-5.6-luna" in your saved file. The adapter defaults to temperature=0.7 and top_p=1.0; the LiteLLM SDK rejects those sampling settings for this model's default reasoning mode before sending a request.

Run the example

Save the code above as pdf_input_bytes.py, then run:

python pdf_input_bytes.py
